I interviewed with a technical recruiter, and we spoke about my background and experience.

The talk went well, there was a good rapport, and the recruiter expressed that they wanted to move forward to the next step of the process.

Things then went quiet for a few weeks, and I was informed that they'd had a change in staffing needs and were going to close the spot I was interviewing for.

That's completely understandable; it just happens sometimes.

The recruiter then offered to pass my application to any other teams if I found a position I thought I'd be a good fit for.

I found one that was a pretty good but not perfect fit...some knowledge gaps, but one that wouldn't take much catching up.

So I did a code test that I was allotted a week to do, no small effort on my part, since I had to write it using a JavaScript framework I'd never used before.

I knew my code wasn't perfect, but I felt it was pretty good, but communication just stopped.

No notification that they'd decided to pass, nothing, even after contacting the recruiter afterwards.

Tenable seems like a good company with good people, so I was disappointed that this last bit of contact was handled so unprofessionally.

I would much rather a company say "no" than to simply stop responding to contact.
